Safe Harbor Statement
This announcement contains forward-looking statements. These statements are made under the “safe harbor” provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as “will,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “future,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” “confident” and similar statements. Capstone Holding Corp. may also make written or oral forward-looking statements in its periodic reports to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, in its annual report to shareholders, in press releases and other written materials, and in oral statements made by its officers, directors, or employees to third parties. Statements that are not historical facts, including but not limited to statements about Capstone’s beliefs and expectations about: (i) possible future acquisitions including, but not limited to, acquisition multiples and the percentage of acquisition consideration that will be non-cash; (ii) revenue run rate; and (iii) Adjusted Instone EBITDA run rate are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, further information regarding which is included in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, available for review at www.sec.gov. All information provided in this press release is as of the date of the press release, and Capstone Holding Corp. undertakes no duty to update such information, except as required under applicable law.

In addition to figures prepared in accordance with GAAP, Capstone from time to time presents alternative non-GAAP performance measures, e.g., EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net profit/loss, adjusted earnings per share, free cash flow. These measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Alternative performance measures are not subject to GAAP or any other generally accepted accounting principle. Other companies may define these terms in different ways.
About Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Adjusted Instone EBITDA)
Capstone uses non-GAAP Adjusted Instone EBITDA as a supplemental measure of our performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s financial performance that excludes or includes amounts so as to be different from the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the statement of operations, balance sheet or statement of cash flows of a company. Adjusted Instone EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss), operating income (loss), or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP, or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities or a measure of our liquidity.
We believe that Adjusted Instone EBITDA is a useful performance measure and is used by us to facilitate a comparison of our operating performance on a consistent basis from period-to-period and to provide for a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business than measures under GAAP can provide alone. We define “Adjusted Instone EBITDA” as earnings (loss) before interest expense, any income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, management fees incurred by Instone payable to Capstone and Brookstone, Instone board fees, share-based compensation, change in fair value of contingent consideration, and transaction costs.
Note 1: The $100 million revenue and $10 million Adjusted Instone EBITDA numbers are targets for 2025 that include anticipated acquisitions. As these targets are dependent on closing acquisitions during 2025, the Company is unable to include a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP results to the corresponding GAAP measures as they are not available without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainties regarding the future identification and closing of acquisition targets.

Financial Measures - Non - GAAP Capstone uses non - GAAP Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of our performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). A non - GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s financial performance that excludes or includes amounts so as to be different from the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the statement of operations, balance sheet or statement of cash flows of a company. Adjusted Instone EBITDA and Adjusted Instone EBITDA @ 23.5% Gross Profit (Loss) are not measurements of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss), operating income (loss), or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP, or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities or a measure of our liquidity. Capstone urges investors to review the reconciliation of non - GAAP Adjusted EBITDA to the comparable GAAP Net Income (Loss), which is included in this presentation, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate Capstone’s financial performance. We believe that Adjusted Instone EBITDA is a useful performance measure and is used by us to facilitate a comparison of our operating performance on a consistent basis from period - to - period and to provide for a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business than measures under GAAP can provide alone. We define “ Adjusted Instone EBITDA ” as earnings (loss) before interest expense, any income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, management fees incurred by Instone payable to Capstone and Brookstone, Instone board fees, share - based compensation, change in fair value of contingent consideration, and transaction costs. We believe that Adjusted Instone EBITDA @ 23.5% Gross Profit (Loss) is a useful performance measure and is used by us to measure Instone’s adjusted EBITDA on a current run rate basis. We define “Adjusted EBITDA @ 23.5% Gross Profit (Loss)” as Adjusted EBITDA plus adjustments to derive gross profit at our estimated next twelve month gross profit percentage and reflect SGA expenses based on our SGA costs incurred in our last historical quarter.
